[Codestriker-user] Cannot create topic with big (+1M) diff files

From: DATACOM - D. <di...@da...> - 2007-01-22 11:13:36

Hi people,

I am using Codestriker 1.9.2, Apache 2.0.58 and MySQL 4.1.21 in a Gentoo=20
Linux box.

When I try to create topics using big unidiff files (1Mb or more), the=20
system shows a blank page and the topic is not created. No error=20
messages are displayed. Is there any limitation on the size of the=20
unidiff files?

To generate unidiff files I am using CVSNT on Windows XP. When I edit=20
the files making them fit around 900Kb, the topics are created with no=20
problems.

Thanks in advance,

--=20

There is a rough limit of 20 megabytes at the moment for the size of the 
HTTP POST, so you really shouldn't be hitting this.

Have you checked the apache error log file?  Perhaps the database has 
had an issue with the size of the topic text.

Cheers,
David

As David suggests, it is probably MySQL's max_allowed_packet setting in
/etc/my.cnf (or wherever your MySQL configuration file is).&nbsp; I think
the default is 1MB, which would make sense.&nbsp; Take a look in your my.cnf
file in the [mysqld] section there might be a parameter with the value
max_allowed_packet=1MB.&nbsp; Try adding or changing this parameter to say
16MB or 32MB restart the MySQL server and see if the problem persists.<br>

I changed max_allowed_packet in my.cnf from 1M to 32M. After that, I=20
could use a diff file of up to 1.8M. When I tried it with a 2.4M diff,=20
it failed again. I click on the "Create topic" button, wait some minutes=20
and a blank page is displayed just as before. In the Apache log I found=20
this:

[error] [client 176.16.10.9] (70007)The timeout specified has expired:=20
ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed, referer:=20
http://dmview4/codestriker/codestriker.pl?action=3Dcreate

Seems like a timeout in Apache. Do you think this can be causing my=20
problem? Anybody knows how to change this?

Now it is working! I changed the field "Timeout" in httpd.conf from 300=20
to 600 and could create a topic with a 2.4M unidiff file.

So the solution was:
1. Change max_allowed_packet in my.cnf from 1M to 32M;
2. Change Timeout in httpd.conf from 300 to 600.

Thanks all for the help,

Diego
